So P Diddy was a swinger who arranged wild and generous swingers' parties (who hasn't?), drugs and delicatessen included. So can somebody please explain to me in what way any of this was criminal? It makes no sense whatsoever. Free Diddy now! news.sky.com/story/diddy-trial-live-sean-combs-sex-trafficking-latest-new-york-13363431

The last words from attorneys in the Diddy trial:
“The defendant is not a god. He is a person. And in this courtroom, he stands equal before the law. Overwhelming evidence proves his guilt. It is time to hold him accountable. Find him guilty.” variety.com/2025/music/news/diddy-trial-ends-defense-asks-jury-acquit-sean-combs-1236442744/

In closing arguments, Diddy's lawyer asserted that "freak-offs" were not coerced, but rather part of a consensual "swingers lifestyle."
He said of Cassie: “She’s a woman who actually likes sex. Good for her! She’s beautiful, she should.” variety.com/2025/music/news/diddy-trial-defense-closing-arguments-swinger-1236442744/#recipient_hashed=ed7bd426011f2052d873d4318bb080419f0912400a88811e1e9fee2a771da3ca&recipient_salt=e162a1a30e144239f827216c5107c96279f77951c0a5ec1e7b79b7cadc26834c&utm_medium=email&utm_source=exacttarget&utm_campaign=newsalert&utm_content=617704_06-27-2025&utm_term=11070564?utm_medium=&utm_source=&utm_campaign=&utm_content=&utm_id=
